Hi. When I can make a road trip, I'll be adding and M1884 (serial 55522x, 1892 mfr). Looks like it has the longer cadet grip, and I've emailed the owner if the barrel is 29 1/2" and has a serrated trigger. It's gonna be a great restoration piece, and has a nice bit of history to how it was saved/rescued. Anyhow, the guy's older brother (teenagers back when) decided to paint it after they found it. Maybe it was an eyesore, won't know until I remove all the paint. Would anyone have recommendations on how best to remove the paint and keep any original bluing/case hardening? Could be that the paint has saved what might have become major rust/pitting. Thanks, Eric.
